My name is Steve, and I am posting from beautiful, moist Western Washington. Honestly, I only joined to add information on a particular thread in the rescue forum. I'm an APBT/AST/SBT/ all breed lover, and a vet tech with 20+ years clinical experience, also a former ACO and shelter worker. Now working on my doctorate to further my career as a companion animal nutritionist, after a 12 year specialty in nutrition as a vet tech. I'm now going to add my information to the thread I came here to contribute to, and I'll see y'all around!

Thanks for all the words of welcome! Yes, I DID eventually realize that it wasn't as simple as making my introductory post and magically having full posting rights... eventually. You'd think I'd be a little bit brighter, having operated and moderated many forums of my own.

And, for the record, I'm up here in Snohomish County, Everett/Marysville area.
